Our Story

Established in 1972, we've been delivering top-tier real estate services from our Scarborough Beach Road location in Doubleview since 1983. Founded by Paul Druitt, a respected figure in the industry, our company quickly became known for its professionalism and integrity, under the name of Druitt First National and then later, Druitt & Shead First National. After Paul's retirement in 2000 and subsequently Roger Shead's retirement in 2023, our commitment to quality and integrity has remained unchanged.

Under the leadership of Rob Druitt and Kate Saunders, our company continues to thrive. With decades of experience, diverse skills, and a hands-on approach, our team is dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for our clients. Our deep understanding of legislation, coupled with innovative strategies, ensures that we remain leaders in our field.
